Lily Thai
615 Grand StGood authentic Thai food.
It is a very quiet relaxing place.
It took me two times to go there before I realized it's vegan!
I love the mix of American diner, Southern soul food, and vegan. Imagine huge creamy cakes - vegan! Blackened chorizo ....

Old neighborhood place with the best old style pizza.
Williamsburg has Motorino's, Bushwick has Roberta's. Those are great artisan pizza places. But if you are in the mood for a regular no nonsense Italian pizza, Carmine's is your choice!
